Why do music stores need specialized POS systems?

Inventory challenges
Music stores have unique inventory needs, with diverse inventory like instruments, accessories, sheet music and goods on consignment, all requiring precise tracking.

Handling high-value items and flexible payment options
Flexible payment options empower music stores to close more big-ticket sales. Their POS software should make it easy for them to offer these sales-boosting options.

Tracking rentals, repair services and consignments
Today's music stores often offer services as well as physical products. Music store POS software should be able to accommodate services, rentals, consignment inventory, etc.

Managing online and in-store sales under one system
Disconnected systems can quickly become an administrative nightmare. Music stores should look for a POS system that seamlessly connects their physical and digital locations.

Lightspeed’s cloud-based POS for music stores streamlines these processes with robust inventory management, customizable workflows, service management and omnichannel selling features, all while giving you unparalleled access to your data from anywhere.

Manage repairs and special orders within a single system.

Efficiently manage services like repairs and special orders with Lightspeed's built-in services module, which allows you to manage every step of the repair process from one place.

  • Create work orders with detailed descriptions of the work to be done, parts required and service schedule
  • Track repair progress and work hours from beginning to end with status updates, notes and parts location fields
  • Set up automated notifications to let customers know when their item is ready to be picked up
  • Ensure nothing falls through the cracks—filter and view service orders by status, customer, outlet or receipt number

Offer flexible payments without the hassle.

Many music store owners offer a rental service to cater for customers who want to rent out musical instruments, accessories and sound equipment for short periods.

Lightspeed's music store POS software lets you collect deposits and temporarily remove rental items from your inventory for the rental duration to prevent overselling. You can also offer layaways to give customers the flexibility to pay for their goods in installments, or even let your VIPs put goods "on my account" and pay by invoice.
